HOW-TO: Play Project 1999 on a Mac

[Lenas]

First of all, to the OP, thanks for the great post. It's really hard to find any current resources regarding EQ and OSX.

Now, I'm sorry this doesn't exactly pertain to P99, but does anyone have current-day EQ running in OSX?

I'm using an early 2010 MBP, Radeon HD 6750m, 8GB ram, i7 2.2Ghz running OSX Lion 10.7.2

I've followed the tutorial completely, but every time I try to run it with my setup, I get a crash with eqgame.exe. If I set the target to EverQuest.exe instead, the patcher will launch and update files okay, but then after clicking login I get the same error. I assume it has something to do with the different client files, but I haven't yet been able to find a fix. Works 100% fine in Boot Camp, I'm just a lazy bastard and don't wanna reboot to play!

This is all I get:

Well you've gotten further than i have. I cant get anything to launch. I'm getting the same error as you. If you or anyone has figured this out that would be great, or if anyone would be willing to take the time and maybe walk me through the install via skype that would be amazing!! thank you. would love to play some everquest on my mac and dont want to do the botcamp route.

Are you running through WINE? I had to run Wineskin and kill tasks then ran Project 1999 then it generated an eqclient.ini file which I then set the WindowedMode to TRUE.
